Version 9 Message in Visual Perspectives

Post by numberz »

Hi and TIA,
I installed Version 9.
1) Theme looks different.
2) When trying to access Visual Perspectives Administrator, I get a popup message regarding WebView2.
What can be wrong? All is great before Version 9.
BTW, I went from 8.8 to 9. Was there an 8.9?

You need to make sure that you have the WebView2 installed on your machine.

Go to https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/m ... /webview2/ and download and install to fix the problem.

Then restart Aware IM

Is this a new requirement of version 9?
Because I never had this issue.
Also, I think I installed that but still had the issue.

Not sure Harry.

I do have the latest version of Microsoft Edge installed so not sure if that made any difference or not.
Cheers,
Mark

So, I did all that was required and finally it works without errors but...
Why is the layout different on my apps? The spacing, position of thing is not good. TIA

That is because all the Themes in Version 9 are a bit different.

The amount of change will be dependent on which theme your were using before.

So, I suggest trying out all the different new Themes and settling on the one you like the best.

In any event, you will initially need to make some adjustments.
Cheers,
Mark

Why do I have to use Edge though? I used Google in the past. When I try to go in Visual Perspectives, I get a webview message and I'm not even using Edge as I said.
Also, none of the themes look close to being okay...something wrong going on.
